Subject: [nabs-l] Join the national Bookshare Education Advisory Panel!

Hello everyone,



Are you a student who would like to change the world?



Bookshare is actively recruiting two student representatives to join the
national Bookshare Education Advisory Panel.  The Advisory Panel brings
together accessibility and education experts from around the country to
guide and inform the efforts of Bookshare, the largest on-line library of
accessible e-books in the world.  The student representatives play a key
role on the Advisory Panel and their input is highly valued.



The Advisory Panel meets four times a year.  Three of the meetings are phone
conferences, and once a year, the entire board meets in person.



These students will advise the Panel on matters of accessibility and the use
of Bookshare by college and university students. We are looking for
candidates who can represent students with print disabilities who use
assistive technologies for reading.



We would like to submit our final candidate choices to the Department of
Education by mid January for their approval. If you are an interested
student or know of a student who would be a good representative, please let
them know about this exciting opportunity and forward my contact
information.



Requirements

*        Student must be currently enrolled in a post secondary course of
study

*        Student must be a Bookshare member

*        Student must be 18 years of age or older



If you have questions, please feel free to contact Cherie Miller, University
Program Manager at Bookshare.
